Application filed January 7,

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, W'ILLIAM HENRY PAR- SONS, a citizen of Manchester, England, re-` siding at Cristobal, Canal Zone, have `invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specin cation.

My present invention has reference to a non-refillable bottle. i

` In carrying out my invention, I propose to produce a non-refillable bottle in which the neck thereof is formed withr an outwardly rounded or bulged portion `which, provides a cage for a spherical valve, the wall between the cage and the body being rounded to form a seat for the valve, and the cage having a horizontalpartition provided at spaced intervals with slots that form passages for theliquid from the bottle through tlie neck thereof, while the bottom of the bottle is provided with a passage whereby the same may be filled after the usual cork is inserted in the neck of the bottle, the said filler passage being closed and sealed when the contents are received in the bottle.

The drawing which accompanies and forms part of this specification illustrates a satisfactory embodiment of the improvement reduced to practice, and wherein Figure 1 is an approximately central ver# tical longitudinal sectional view through a non-reiillable bottle in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 ofFigure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view through the upper portion of a bottle showing the same provided with a compressible valve. a

Referring now to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 designates the body of the bottle and 2 the neck thereof. rlhe neck has its passage normally closed by the usual cork stopper The neck has an outwardly rounded. or bulged portion l that is approximately centrally bridged by a partition 5. The partition is centrally provided with a restricted aperture .6 and is provided `with outer circumferentially arranged equidistantly spaced slots 7. The slots7 serve as outlets for the contents of the bottle. The

`portion of the bottle neck below the parti 1922. Serial No. 527,732.

tion 5, and preferably the lower walls provided by the 'cage 8 are thickened, as at 11 and are likewise rounded, as at 12 to form the seat for the valve 9. The bottom y13 of the bottle is arched upwardly and is formed with al tubular extension which projects both inwardly and outwardly from the bottom proper. lIhis tubular portion is indicated by the numeral 14, and the same is designed to provide a means whereby liquid may be poured into the bottle. When the bottle is filled the tubular portion 14 is closed by a cork or similar' stopper 15, and the lower portion of the tube 14 as well as the outer portion of the stopper 15 is covered by a sealing means 16.

`In lligure 3 of the drawings, the construction is similar to that previously described, except that the spherical valve 17 illustrated `therein is formed from a composition which permits ofthe slight compressing thereof whereby the same may be forced through the bottom of the bottle on to its seat. The

ranged transversely` across said rounded portion and being provided with a restricted aperture centrally arranged therethrough and a `plurality of circumferentially arranged semi-distantly spaced slots, said` rounded walls thickened below they partition and designed to provide a valve seat, the space between the partition and the thickened wall defining a valve chamber, a

non-corrosive compressible spherical valve arranged `within the chamber and normally seated on the thickened wall, an arched bottom formed on said body, a tubular extension projecting both inwardly and outwardly from the surfaces of said bottom, a stopper closing the tubular extension, and a seal covering the bottom portion of the stopper and the outwardly projecting portion of the extension respectively.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.

WILLIAM HENRY PARSONS.
